Games out this month: 10 biggest releases for September

The hectic autumn release schedule finally arrives, and September looks to be a big one. New Skyrim and Battlefield 3 DLC will warm you up for Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Borderlands 2, FIFA 13 and much more as the weeks march on.

'Armored Kill', the third DLC pack for EA's shooter, features five new drivable vehicles including mobile artillery, tanks and ATVs, as well as a mobile gunship spawn point. The expansion also adds the Tank Superiority game mode, which sees players command heavy vehicles in order to control different points on the map.

Skyrim's second DLC pack enables users to purchase land and build their own homes from the ground up. Once a plot of land has been purchased, users can design anything from a simple one-bedroom cottage to a sprawling mansion. You can then move in with your wife and even adopt children.

The highly-anticipated co-operative shooter sequel boasts a 58-hour campaign that will take players to previously unseen regions of the planet Pandora, and offers reworked intelligence and more end-game opportunities.

F1 2012 will feature all the latest teams, drivers and circuits, including the debut of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas and the return of Germany's Hockenheim circuit.
